Was it morning when the slab wall might be warming, or evening > when it might be cooling? Funny you should mention that. I've got a light shining on it, and a stick of photo-sensitive cells along the edge of the shadow, where it moves when it's pushed – using a TTL encoder tree to read 'em in on a breadboard, and a 6809 send them along in serial form. Crude, but it catches the movements as gross as I saw the other day very well, 64 photocells in a two inch arc (which is magnified by the shadow). I've been running a logging task (pretty trivial, really) since about 2am last night on the 4000 (which is also running SSTV and the network… 🙂 I graph the results using Analyze. Nothing so far since last nite, other than tiny movements. I'm watching it now. 🙂 Ben
